Strap in for a wild one as we enter the mind of writer/director Donald G. Jackson for two films that include: roller-skating nuns, frog people, a male chastity belt rigged with explosives, and horny puppets. That’s right, it’s time for ROLLER BLADE (1986) and HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN (1988) starring Roddy Piper and Sandahl Bergman.

Special Guest Dirk Marshall of the VH US podcast joins us as we stand on our heads for two post-apocalyptic westerns featuring Brion James. First up is STEEL DAWN (1987) starring Patrick Swayze in a Shane-influenced search for water. Then we switch gears to STEEL FRONTIER (1995) as mysterious gunslinger Johnny Yuma battles the Death Riders.

It’s time to go B-A-N-A-N-A-S, BANANAS...for post-apocalyptic sports week! Johnny Halladay, Karen Allen, and Jürgen Prochnow play the most dangerous game…no, not that one. It’s driving a truck powered by AI across the TERMINUS (1987). Then we slam dog skulls onto spikes with the Juggers in David Webb People’s THE BLOOD OF HEROES (1989), a.k.a. THE SALUTE OF THE JUGGER starring Rutger Hauer, Joan Chen, Delroy Lindo, and Vincent D’Onofrio.

Austin Trunick, the author of THE CANNON FILM GUIDE, helps Chris scan a Cannon Films double feature that totally nukes the post-apocalyptic genre: AMERICA 3000 (1986) with Chuck Wagner and Laurene Landon, as well as Albert Pyun’s CYBORG (1989) starring the “Muscles From Brussels,” Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Meanwhile, Rob is lost in the vortex of tomorrow…

This week, we set the Wayback machine to “1983” and continue discussing the Italian wave of post-Mad Max films. 

First up, we race against the Eurac Monarchy to find a fertile woman in Sergio Martino’s 2019, AFTER THE FALL OF NEW YORK, starring Michael Sopkiw, Anna Kanakis, and George Eastman. 

Then we penetrate the Wall of Illusion with the Rider in WARRIOR OF THE LOST WORLD, starring Robert Ginty, Persis Khambatta, Donald Pleasance, and Fred Williamson. 

We finish up protecting our water from Alien in EXTERMINATORS OF THE YEAR 3000.

This week we have a pair of supremely stylish post-apocalyptic films by Italian director Enzo G. Castellari and starring Fred Williamson. 1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS (1982) and THE NEW BARBARIANS (1983).

Ryan from the New World Pictures Podcast joins us for a pair of New World Pictures riding that Mad Max wave. Who has the coolest post-apocalyptic nickname? Is it Michael Beck as Hunter in BATTLETRUCK (1982) directed by Harley Cokeliss? Or can STRYKER (1983) take the crown of coolest dude this side of the Oil Wars/nuclear holocaust?

They say that people don’t believe in heroes anymore. Well, damn them! Grab your petrol cans and weapons as we lurch toward the apocalypse with George Miller's MAD MAX (1979) starring Mel Gibson, John Carpenter's ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981) starring Kurt Russell, and MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR (1981).

Rob has hijacked the studio to discuss Gaspar Noe’s CLIMAX (2018), an avant-garde horror film about a French dance troupe’s hellish acid trip, starring Sophia Boutella. It’s an unforgettable film, from the incredible dance number set to Cerrone’s “Supernature” to a child locked in a room screaming for his mommy.
